Do developers lose most of their time to tech debt and broken tooling?
Hey everyone I'm a non-technical founder trying to understand a problem before building anything I keep hearing developers say they spend more time dealing with tech debt, flaky tests, broken onboarding, and tooling issues than actually shipping features - which leads to burnout and slow delivery. I want to sanity-check this with real developers: What wastes most of vour time day-to-day ? Is tech debt / tooling friction really a big problem, or is something else worse? If you could magically fix one thing in your dev workflow, what would it be? I'm not selling anything or promoting a product - just trying ta understand the problem honestly Thanks for your time. Saurabh.
